Deleuze and Guattari's Philosophy of History Summary

Deleuze and Guattari's Philosophy of History by Associate Professor Jay Lampert (Duquesne University, USA)

Deleuze and Guattari's Philosophy of History constructs, problematizes and defends a Deleuzian philosophy of history. Drawing on Deleuze's philosophy of time, it identifies key ideas and suggestions related to the philosophy of history from Deleuze and Guattari's major writings - including the seminal contemporary texts Anti-Oedipus, A Thousand Plateaux, Difference and Repetiton and The Logic of Sense. The book covers the following themes: the role of dates in historical chronology; historical causality; historical origins; the character of historical events; and the diagnosis of such actual historical events as the rise of capitalism in Europe. This text is a groundbreaking, valuable and original contribution to the scholarship on Deleuze and Guattari, and contemporary Continental philosophy as a whole.

Deleuze and Guattari's Philosophy of History Reviews

With this book Jay Lampert has new standards of clarity and rigour by which future studies of Deleuze will need to be appraised. It is among the very best studies of his work published to date...This is a brilliant and major study that can be strongly recommended to anyone interested in Deleuze's project and in questions concerning history. In fact, I cannot recommend it strongly enough. (Keith Ansell Pearson, University of Warwick, UK)
